Abstract
The tolerability of cisplatin (CDDP) was retrospectively examined in 87 patients who received CDDP with concurrent chemoradiotherapy from May 2015 to July 2018. The CDDP doses were 80mg/m2 (80mg group) every 3 weeks until 2016 and 100mg/m2 (100mg group) every 3 weeks after January 2017. The 87 patients included 63 in the 80mg group and 24 in the 100mg group; 61.9% and 70.8% of patients received the full dose (240mg/m2 and 300mg/m2), respectively. Grade 3 or worse adverse events were reported in 52.4% and 70.8% in the 80mg group and the 100mg group, respectively. The percentage of patients who received 200mg/m2 or more, which is the clinical recommended dose, was 68.3% and 91.7% of patients in the 80mg group and 100mg group, respectively. Chemoradiotherapy with CDDP 100mg/m2 would be a well-tolerated, high-dose treatment in Japan.
